Michelin Axiobib 2 Benefits
MICHELIN VF AXIOBIB 2 range, which features MICHELIN’s UltraFlex technology, contributes towards sustainable agriculture by reducing soil compaction. It offers farmers a 4% additional yield (based on a study by Harper Adams University) because crops are able to access water and nutriments they need more easily due to less compacted soil, which allows them to achieve full growth.
The AXIOBIB 2 also has the best load capacity on the market in its category: vehicles fitted with these Very high Flexion (VF) tyres can bear a greater working load of up to 6,700 kg /tyre.
The elongated ground contact patch offers enhanced traction performance in the field of up to +35%. (Based on internal tests conducted by Michelin in June ’16 comaparing their VF tyres to standard tyres in that current market).
The Narrow Rim Option (NRO) marking means this VF range is compatible with standard manufacturers’ rim sizes.
The AIR +/- SYSTEMS READY marking confirms that Michelin Axiobib 2 tyres can optimise the investment in using onboard tyre inflation systems.
With MICHELIN VF AXIOBIB 2 range, pressures can be adjusted down to 0.6 bar in the fields and up to 2 bars on the road.
Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
